Who it’s for
Outbound call centers run lead-generation campaigns — insurance, solar, Medicare — with rows of agents repeating the same qualifying script thousands of times a day.
What needed to change
Headcount and turnover cap how many calls a center can make. Cold leads hang up the moment something sounds robotic, so reply speed and handling interruptions matter enormously. And most call centers won’t give up the dialer they already use.
What I built
- [01]An AI agent that follows a campaign script on a normal phone line — asks the qualifying questions, handles objections, never quotes a price
- [02]A plug-in for the center’s existing dialer: their dialer places the call, the AI answers it — with any phone carrier
- [03]Warm transfer of qualified, willing leads to a live human agent in the middle of the call
- [04]Natural turn-taking: the caller can interrupt, and the AI checks in if the line goes quiet
- [05]Pre-recorded script lines for the fixed parts of the script, which roughly halves voice costs; compliance disclaimers read word for word
- [06]A record of every call: recording, transcript, reply times, cost and outcome
- [07]Results pushed to the client’s CRM or dialer automatically, with retries
- [08]Do-not-call suppression, per-client line limits and a multi-client console with reports
How it works, step by step
- [01]
The center’s dialer calls a lead
- [02]
Live audio streams to the AI agent
- [03]
It listens and replies from the campaign script
- [04]
Qualified leads are warm-transferred to a human
- [05]
The outcome is posted back to the client’s system
Results so far
median AI reply time on real phone calls
simultaneous calls in load testing — capacity planned for 50+
AI cost per talk-minute, measured on real calls
Decisions that mattered
- [01]Keep the client’s dialer — “their dialer dials, our AI answers” — so there’s nothing new to adopt.
- [02]Tap the audio at the phone switch rather than through one carrier, so any carrier works.
- [03]Pre-record the repeated lines to cut voice costs, and keep listening tuned for speed.
The technology
For the technically curious. You don’t need to know any of this to work with me.
